Karate Club is a registered club of the National Institute of Technology, Tiruchirappalli(formerly known as Regional Engineering College, Tiruchirappalli) for all the students of NITT. Master P R Asokan(a) Ashokaraj, a VI Dan Black Belt holder from Karate Budokan International, Malaysia is the karate instructor in the club. He is teaching Karate in NITT from 1981 with an aim to spread the knowledge of Martial Arts in the life of engineering professionals.Budokan style of karate is practised in the Karate Club of NITT.

Karate club was started in NITT with the aim of making Martial Arts, Yoga & Meditation, common in the life of students. Here, stress is given primarily in making exercises and practise of Karate simple & easy enough to be practised by a professional student. In the club, the martial arts are taught in such a way that it becomes easier for the student to reach the tougher levels of Karate once he has mastered the basics. We never aim to spread our knowledge of Martial Arts for monetary purposes. We keep special provisions for dedicated & financially poor students. We believe that Martial Art is a holy practice for reaching the ultimate level of Buddha.
